Her

Senior year  s h u f f l e s  her way closer

She bears promise, 

Yet she intimidates me

 

Knowing she lurks & smirks within the shadows of the calendar

Is enough to send a small stream of prickles & tickles over my arms

 

Excitement. And nervousness. 

 

She continues to gnaw at my brain like a trite Nickleback ballad cemented into my head

 

Planning for her arrival consumes my spare time

Scheduling appointments, setting dates, composing applications

 

The thing about senior year: she BULLIES me,

Causes me to feel like a coward

 

But honestly, she is not the worst

It's what comes next...

 

Life.
